Anyone had enough of AI intervention in wars?

[On a Corner]

I have had this happen to me too many times in a row. I am playing a Brandenburg game and I have had France intervene in a war against Bohemia twice and Poland once. It is honestly got to be the biggest bunch of crap in my games lately, I am boxed in right now and the only way I can expand on is east because I know in the West someone else will intervene. But this just takes pee now, I am fighting a war in Poland!!! And it feels like that France has just cause to make me white peace with them or go to war against me.!! Every single time I have had France do this to me in all my game and their last few interventions.

It might just be me but I feel like the AI for this feature of the game needs to be calmed down a bit, as with some of the weird relationships it trys still.

Anyway that is my 'little' rant.

Its strange when a rival of your enemy intervenes on your enemies side, while you yourself are not their rival.
I have also had a rival intervene and help me win a war.

I've got mixed emotions on Intervene in War. On one hand, I've raged at having Great Powers chain-join a war.

I'm France fighting Spain and the Commonwealth intervenes. I divert resoruces to peace out the Commonwealth and the Ottomans immediately intervene as soon as the Commonwealth is out.

I've also had allies, who are Great Powers, who wouldn't join a call to arms. However, they intervened on my behalf and have made some wars super-easy.

Best bet to me, is to make allies with the top half of Great Powers.

In victoria 2 as Prussia I managed to rek Austria and take their spheres of influence and then I attacked France, and I would have won if it weren't for those meddling Russians

Atleast in that game it felt fair at times and you knew what risks you were in. Now I have to worry about half of the Great powers jumping in to a war.

Well that plan is okay if you don't need their land and they want to be friends with you. I am in a crappy situation in my last few games where Burgundy has been split but will usually be consumed by France in the long run. It is ruining my games because Austria is always lacking power that it needs in the long run and no one counters France. I feel like France always finds a way to screw my games over, either they ♥♥♥♥ block any war or make alliances with Poland or Ottomans. Or they just chew up Burgundy and wallonia, and punch most of their rivals in the faces. The Ai against France is its main problem. It can have numerical advantage in the early game but due to French military being OP it will rarely have enough to out number it, not to mention their starting generals. Atleast with the Commonwealth I feel like I have a chance to take them on with the AI. But with France, Austria will feed its army a quick death to France, and Burgundy will usually not have all of its subjects to help out in time to stop France from flattening them.

that won´t work. a great power can only join a war when one side got more great powers than the other... just make sure you got the biggest stick even if another great power joins on the enemies side and no one will join.
or if you aren´t the weakest of the great powers attack a weaker one or one weakened by a long war...

I feel that you should be able to intervene only if you are allied with one of the belligerents or rivaled to one of them along with the unbalanced gp thing.

i think the problem is that the strongest great nation might just attack all the other one after the other without the others being able to defeat them because the strongest great nation always calls in an ally that is a great nation as well....

Easy way to avoid it - don't call great powers into your wars -> no more interventions.
